That's what I always figured - MB and SB need to be aimed fairly closely to take out a BPC-armored anything, not to mention the potential for backlash from the close proximity nuclear detonation damaging the Ogre. AP, on the other hand, just fire continuously as the Ogre sweeps past and handwavium does the rest.
